entry  under  the  provisions  of  this  section  unless  the

ration so  filed  shall  be  duly  signed  by  the  owner,  importer, 
consignee  or  agent  before  the  collector,  or  before  a  notary 
public  or  other  officer  duly  authorized  by  law  to  administer 
oaths  and  take  acknowledgments,  who  may  be  designated 
by  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  to  receive  such  decla- 
rations and  to  certify  to  the  identity  of  the  persons  making 
them,  under  regulations  to  be  prescribed  by  the  Secretary 
of  the  Treasury;  and  every  officer  so  designated  shall  file

which  the  invoices  or  bills  of  lading  are  not  produced,  shall 
not  be  included  in  such  entry,  but  may  be  entered  subse- 
quently.

tion of  the  customs  laws,  and  in  any  legal  proceeding 
that  may  result  from  such  seizure,  the  undervaluation  as 
shown  by  the  appraisal,  shall  be  presumptive  evidence  of 
fraud,  and  the  burden  of  proof  shall  be  on  the  claimant  to 
rebut  the  same,  and  forfeiture  shall  be  adjudged  unless  he 
shall  rebut  such  presumption  of  fraudulent  intent  by  suffi-
